Our mystery begins…
Meet Jane. She’s put together, a planner by nature, and a go-getter climbing the ladder at work. But beneath the surface, she feels… just a little off.
Morning: the Clues Start Stacking
Jane wakes to her phone alarm… but she’s still groggy, puffy-eyed, and mildly annoyed at the existence of Monday.
She immediately checks texts, emails, Instagram.
Her nervous system gets a hit of cat-videos-meet-political-chaos before she’s even sat upright.
Not hungry? She skips breakfast.
Coffee — yes please. Maybe two. That helps with the constipation.
(First clues: a groggy morning + no fuel + no poo = Vata/Pitta turbulence brewing.)
Midday: Enter the Usual Suspects
By late morning, she grabs a yogurt and banana at her desk.
Lunch? Fish tacos and a salad at 2:15 — extra cheese, extra tomatoes, extra spicy.
A little acid reflux. No worries — Tums to the rescue.
(More Clues: cold breakfast + late lunch + spicy food + antacids = unhappy digestive fire — aka agni.)
Evening: The Plot Thickens
After work, she powers through a fast treadmill run while listening to her favorite podcast.
Then 20 minutes of weights. She’s sweaty and red-in-the-face, but check, workout box ticked.
Home at 7, fired up, but exhausted, she showers and heats up leftover Indian takeout, pours a glass of wine, and unwinds with a show.
Maybe another glass.
By midnight she’s in bed, listening to an audiobook, hoping to fall asleep quickly.
She does — but wakes at 2 a.m., restless.
(Even More Clues: overstimulation + alcohol + screens + a late heavy meal = sleep sabotage.)
The Mystery Question
Why is she so tired, wired, bloated, foggy, irritable… and increasingly disconnected from herself? She’s doing excellent work (always perfect and on time), she’s working out 6 days a week, and she’s eating healthy.
She knows she can power through - she always has. But her friend told her about an Ayurveda Counselor who helped her with her sleep and gut issues. Hmm… she decides to try it.
What Happens When Jane Schedules an Ayurvedic Consultation
After filling out a detailed intake form, they meet. Everything comes up — family history, bathroom habits, and that mysterious red patch she gets when stressed.
She learns she has a Vata/Pitta imbalance — lots of go-go-go energy and too much heat in her system, both contributing to her problems.
Together, they break her tangled storyline into simple, doable shifts:
1. A Calmer Morning Rhythm
– How to start the day to keep her nervous system steady
– Why she isn’t feeling hungry in the morning, and what to do about it2. Food Tweaks
– Discovering that fish and cheese together can create toxins (ama)
– Tips to prevent acid reflux and heartburn3. Grounding Evening Practices
– Why her late-afternoon workout might be part of the problem
– Transition routines to help her body actually wind down4. Sleep Support
– A Pitta-calming evening rhythm to stay asleep through the night
– How to wake up in a natural window to feel refreshed5. Herbal Support
– Introducing Amalaki, a gentle herb to support mind and digestion
Step by step, her symptoms turn into clues — all pointing toward real, sustainable healing.
Why This Matters
We often think we need to make big changes to feel better. More discipline, more supplements, more dieting.
But really? Most people just need help understanding the body’s messages.
Ayurveda works like a gentle detective — spotting the root cause, not blaming the body.
